DRACULA: THE HERO BEHIND THE LEGEND!

Though the world would later know and revile him as Count Dracula, he was actually born a Prince. The ruling monarch of the southern lands of the Romani, Prince Vlad saved Christian Europe from a Moslem invasion that would have forever changed history.

It was a cruel time, and two of the world's major religions were on a collision course.

The great Moslem ruler Sultan Mohammed, ruthlessly ending the long reign of Byzantium by conquering Constantinople, had set his eyes upon the riches of Christian Europe. But there was an obstacle facing him and his mighty armies. At the portal to the West, the land of Tara Romaneasca, one lone figure stood in his path. He was Vlad Voivode, Prince Vlad, known throughout history and legend by another name: Dracula.

This is the true-life story of the real Dracula -- the man who defended the gates of Europe -- and the beautiful Princess of Hungary who loved him.

Screams

The mind lets go of fear
by telling us to scream
whether out of panic, danger
or to awake from a dream
If the body does not allow
if the scream is kept inside
if its silent, in your head
it then becomes, the worst kind
You see, no one can hear it
or come to your aid
Which is what screams are for
why they escape.
But left pent up
it sounds louder in your head
then a meltdown begins
and fills you with dread.
So silently you scream,
for anyone, or release
Before the blackness sets in

Vampire Witch
In the Ukraine in March, 2005 Diana Semenuha, 29, was arrested after police discovered that she had lured street children to her home to drink their blood. She admitted to the deed. Apparently, she believed that this practice could thwart a muscle-wasting condition she had, but her crime appears to have a different agenda as well.

Status

Bow me down to you
Bend my legs beneath me
Pull my head to the floor.


I have lower status than you.


Or so I chose.


Pull my hands out in front of me
Position me just right
Just how you want me.
Want me.

Dracula: once bitten, forever smitten
From Dracula to Lestat to Mona the Vampire, the thirst for vampire novels is unquenchable. They've been examined from every conceivable angle, done to death as it were, and yet literature about them proliferates at greater speed than vampires themselves could ever hope to. So what is it about books featuring the undead that holds us so much in thrall?
